16:8 intermittent fasting/exercise... am I doing this right?
I'm 28, 5'4" and I weigh 157lbs. My goal weight is 130lbs. I've calculated my BMR at 1440 and my sedentary TDEE at 1720. I'd prefer to use my sedentary TDEE for calculations and then add exercise calories on as I don't always consistently do the same amount of exercise each week, but at the moment I'm just using my BMR…

Going over calorie limit
Hi, I'm 139 pounds, 5'4" and my goal weight is 125. I'm trying to stick to 1200 calories a day. For 2.5 weeks I've done this every day, never gone over but I have gone slightly under some days. I exercise 6 days a week for 30-60 mins per day. My question is how much difference does it make if you go over your calorie limit…

Vegetarian MFP users with open diaries?
Hi, I'm looking for any vegetarians/vegans with open diaries here! I just want to get an idea of what you eat on a daily basis, especially if you "eat clean". I tracked my food intake on MFP for a few months but fell off the wagon and am struggling to get back into it. New friends would be lovely too - I need motivation!…

Weekly vs daily net calories
Do any of you concentrate more on your weekly net calories rather than daily intake? Last week I had a couple of days where my calorie intake was a lot lower than I'd have liked due to stomach issues. Looking at my weekly net intake for last week, it says I was 1508 net calories under my weekly goal. I'm guessing this…

NSV - first 5k completed!
In Summer 2010 I was housebound due to a severely underactive thyroid and could barely walk. This morning I completed my first 5k with my best friend! Neither of us had even attempted to run before 6 weeks ago and this morning we completed the 5k in 38:41. Not the fastest time ever but I am so proud of us both - we were…

Strength training - where do I even start?
Hi, I'm female, 5;4" and weigh 140 pounds. GW is 125 pounds. At the moment I mostly do cardio but am looking to incorporate some strength training into my workout. My upper body strength in particular is absolutely pathetic! I have no access to a gym right now but I do have some hand weights at home. The problem is, I have…

Healthy meals without a fridge?
Hi, I'm in the process of moving house. We used the landlord's fridge in our old place and will have a gap of 4 days until our fridge/freezer is delivered. I keep pretty much all my healthy food in the fridge or freezer so I have no clue what to eat over those 4 days without resorting to takeaways. I'm vegetarian and…

Metabolism/thyroid
Hi, I made a post on here the other day and some of the replies told me that the 1200 calories/day I'm sticking to at the moment is too low. I'm 139 pounds, 5'4" and hoping to get to 125 pounds. I exercise 6 days a week most weeks for 30-60mins. I've read a lot of different posts on here and just ended up confusing myself!…
